Bookshelf PH launched Sari-sari Stories: Book of Pride on June 11, 2025, featuring eight original stories by Filipino authors that celebrate LGBTQIA+ love, identity, and courage. Released for Pride Month, the anthology continues the publisher’s mission to amplify diverse voices in Philippine literature.
Independent publisher Bookshelf PH officially launched the latest installment of the Sari Sari Stories Collection: Book of Pride, at the SM Podium Book Nook last June 11, 2025.
The new anthology features eight original stories from Filipino authors that explore themes of love, identity, and courage within the LGBTQIA+ community. Weaving together a multi-genre experience, spanning from gripping mysteries to heart-wrenching dramas, the collection highlights individual journeys amid a collective advocacy for equality.
During the launch, the attending authors reflected on the inspiration behind their work. They underscored that the stories primarily centering on queer narratives also hold a broader message of self-acceptance and belonging.
“As we continuously tell diverse stories, this book not only aims to educate but also resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to be seen, heard, or loved for who they truly are,” Michelle Dulinayan, Managing Editor of Bookshelf PH.
The Book of Pride is the third entry of Bookshelf PH’s Sari-Sari Stories Collection, a diverse compendium of Filipino culture told only from the lens of Filipino authors. This new selection is written by eight local authors emerging in the Philippine writing scene: Lucky Charles N. Historia, Shanelle B. Recheta, Kae Espejo, JsslAwra, Evan Orias, Zerodegreescelsius, Dhan Duringo, and Jastine Beatrice Yap. Released as an homage for Pride Month this June, Bookshelf PH and its authors continue to tackle their mission of inclusive storytelling.
“We want this to be a warm embrace for all of the stories that we keep hidden—a message that there exists no light we must step away from but only one that shines within each of us if we allow it to,” Monette Quioge, Managing Partner of Bookshelf PH, says.
Sari-sari Stories: Book of Pride is now available on Bookshelf PH’s website (bookshelf.com.ph) and major e-commerce platforms.

Watsons turned up the excitement last June 24 with the official launch of its Shop Now for EXTRA-mazing Surprises Campaign at the Watsons Mall of Asia store, treating shoppers, fans, and guests to a high-energy experience complete with brand showcases, exclusive product perks, and limited-time surprises that lived up to the campaign’s name.
The event was packed with music, exclusive perks and activities, and a preview of the new offers lined up for the quarter. Headlining the program were two of today’s fast-rising OPM acts—1st.One and Amiel Sol.
“Today’s event isn’t just about new promos or exciting performances—it’s a celebration of our continued commitment to creating experiences that go the extra mile for our customers. Our goal at Watsons has always been to go beyond just offering a wide range of products. We want to give our customers an experience that’s EXTRA —from the way they shop, to the rewards they receive,” said Joweeh Liao, Health Business Unit, Finance, Property, and Store Development Director of Watsons.
As part of the rollout, Watsons introduced its two EXTRA-mazing promos to reward loyal Watsons Club members:
1 Million Watsons Club Points to be given away:
Until August 20, Watsons Club Members who spend a minimum of P1,000 in a single receipt are eligible to join the e-raffle for a chance to win Watsons Club points—with a total of 1 million points up for grabs on Watsons’ biggest e-raffle to date.
Get Instant Viu Rewards and a chance to Win a Year-Long Subscription:
Members can also earn a raffle entry for a chance to win a one-year Viu subscription with every P1,000 purchase that includes participating health and beauty products. Meanwhile, those who shop online with a minimum spend of P1,500 will receive a one-month Viu subscription instantly.
“These promos are more than just incentives—they’re an invitation to experience the Watsons’ difference, and to feel valued every step of the way,” added Liao. “We want to make every visit to Watsons feel like a celebration—and with these promos, we’re making that happen.”
Beyond the promotions, the event underscored Watsons’ commitment to helping Filipinos look good, do good, and feel great. With over 1,100 stores nationwide, an extensive range of health, wellness and beauty products, and services like Express Delivery and Click & Collect via the Watsons App, the brand continues to make it easier for Filipinos to stay healthy and confident.
Going EXTRA, Watsons also reinforced its mission of creating a positive impact through accessible healthcare, sustainability efforts, and programs that uplift communities and support the planet.
“Because our customers deserve more than just great deals, they also deserve moments that are rewarding, delightful, and truly memorable,” said Liao. “That’s why we also invite everyone to sign up as Watsons Club members to enjoy even more exclusive benefits.”

■About Osaka eSIM
Osaka eSIM is a mobile communications service offered by the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau in collaboration with the KDDI Group. They utilize “povo SDK,” which allows the company to incorporate povo’s communication services into their own, allowing consumers to use the quality and safety of au’s network.
Customers purchase plans online and customize them via “toppings” to suit their needs in terms of data usage and length of stay, in as little as three minutes. (note 2)
■”Osaka eSIM” first-time user special
Osaka eSIM is offering a “first-time user special” in which customers can receive “Unlimited Data (24 Hours)” (note 1) to commemorate the start of service.
Eligibility: Foreign visitors
Special details: Input a promo code after registration to receive “Unlimited Data (24 Hours)” (note 1)
Duration: April 13, 2025 – End date undetermined
■How to use “Osaka eSIM”
■About communication services for foreign travelers offered by the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau
In January 2014, the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau began offering free public Wi-Fi (Osaka Free Wi-Fi, or OFW) for people visiting Osaka, especially tourists from overseas.
In addition, the Bureau worked with Wire and Wireless Co., Ltd. to offer “Osaka Free Wi-Fi OpenRoaming” from October 2024, which is compatible with “OpenRoaming” (note 3), an international standard of authentication which is being increasingly adopted in Europe, the United States, and Japan, with the goal of expanding OFW and making it more comfortable to use.
In addition to OFW, which can only be used in specific places, the Bureau also offers “Osaka eSIM,” which covers a wide area and can be used easily during transit. A large number of tourists are expected to visit Osaka for Expo 2025, and the Bureau is striving to provide a comfortable and seamless communications environment and increase the satisfaction of visitors.
■About povo SDK
Povo SDK is an open communications service that allows companies to incorporate povo’s communication service and offer their own plans. Music and video subscription services, e-tickets, and smart phone payments have become increasingly more widespread, amplifying the need for an internet connection in people’s daily lives.
This allows companies to offer unlimited data for specific services or original toppings that other companies don’t carry. The duration and data amount can also be customized, allowing the company to provide appropriate toppings to suit the customer’s needs.

(note 1) Network speed may be limited during network congestion.(note 2) Time until the user begins using the service as calculated by KDDI. This may differ based on the customer’s situation.
(note 3) An international wireless LAN roaming infrastructure developed by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and their group companies, a global association of telecommunication carriers and public wireless LAN providers. Wire and Wireless is working with Cityroam, a member of the WBA that operates the roaming infrastructure in Japan, to provide services compatible with OpenRoaming.
